Experienced boat owner and mechanic is looking to bring on a partner for his beautiful 2008 Mainship Trawler, “Afterthought”. This boat has been in her slip in Scituate Harbor since new.

About the boat:Fitted out with virtually every amenity and luxury, this stable, fuel efficient, maneuverable boat sleeps four in air conditioned comfort. The boat includes full Raymarine electronics, including dual E80 chartplotters in the upper helm, one E80 chart plotter in the lower help, full bimini, radar, generator, air conditioning, heating, refrigerator/freezer, upper drink refrigerator, gas grill, autohelm, fire suppression system, bow thruster and a single Yanmar 380hp diesel (less than 400 hours on it). CRUISE AT 8 KNOTS WHILE BURING 3GPH!! This boat is kept in her slip at the Scituate Marine Park and should be in the water, ready to go by May 1st.

About the owner:A retired UMass dean, this engineer has spent his retirement caring for this, and previous, boats. An experienced seaman, he holds a 100 ton Masters Certificate and teaches for both the US Power Squadron and the Coast Guard Auxiliary. He knows every onboard system and would work with the right partner to train him or her on care and maintenance of Afterthought, as well as mooring/docking and underway skills.

Serious inquires, only. This is a fantastic opportunity for an individual, couple or family to buy into a gorgeous yacht at a fraction of the purchase price, and gain all the benefits of an experienced seaman to guide you through ownership. However, if you’re not prepared to make a six-figure investment, we wish you good luck finding another boat…
